EYE DUST-REMOVING INSTRUMENT.

Application filed March 24, 1927. Serial No. 178,112.

This invention relates to a new and useful device in the nature of an eye dust removing device particularly adapted for removing dust, dirt, foreign matter, and the like,

from the eye of a person.

The object of the invention is to provide an eye dust removing device of novel construction and arrangement ofparts, hereinafter more fully described, claimed, and illustrated in the accompanying drawing.

Fig. 1 is a side elevational view of my improved device, as same would appear when in use.

Fig. 2 is a front elevational view thereof.

Fig. 3 is a similar view to that shown in Fig. 1 illustrating a modification of my improved device.

Fig. 4 is a similar view illustrating a further development thereof.

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary sectional view,

taken on the line 55 of Fig. 4.

As here embodied my improved device comprises a tubular member 10, provided with an eye piece 11, attached thereto, at one extremity. The ring shaped member 12,

is adapted to engage over the other extremity of the tubular member 10, and is secured thereto. The ring shaped member 12, is provided with lug elements 13 and 14, provided with apertures adapted to receive the tubes 15 and 16, attached thereto, and extended therefrom. The threaded members 17 and 18, thumb screws, set screws, or the like, are threadedly attached to the lug elements 13 and 14 and to the tubes 15 and 16,

respectively, as a means of securing, a horsehair 19, or the like thereto, the said horse hair 19 being extended through the tubes 15 and 16, so as to form a loop, as clearly .shown in Fig. 2. The magnifying glass 20, is positioned in the tubular member 10.

The above described construction being such as will permit my improved device to be held in front of the eye 21 of a person enabling the said person to look through my improved device, and draw the horsehair 19, over the eye 22, of a second person, as a means of removing dust, dirt, foreign matter, or the like from the eye 22. of

the second person.

The ring shaped members 23 and 24, are rotatively mounted on the tubular member 10, so as to be frictionally held thereon in any desired position. The ring shaped mem- 6 5 bers 23 and 24, are positioned intermediate similar shapedinembers 25 and 26, attached thereto, at or near one extremity thereof. The above described construction being such aswill permit the above mentioned horsehair 19 to be adjustabl positioned, as may be required to enable t e above referred to dust or dirt to be removed from the eye of a person, as above set forth.

In Figs. 4 and 5, of the accompanying drawing, I have shown a supporting member 30, a cap member 31, attached thereto, said supporting member 30 and said cap member 31, adapted to rotatively engage the tubular member 10 and positioned intermediate the eye piece 11 and a ring shaped member 32, attached to one extremity of the tubular member 10.

The supporting member 30, is provided with lug elements 33 and 34, provided with apertures adapted to receive the rod 35. The segment ears 36 and 37, are rotatively mounted on the rod 35. The segment gears 36 and 37 are provided with extended elements 38, provided with apertures adapted to receive the above mentioned tubes 15 and 16.

The pinion 39 meshes with the segment gears 36 and 37, and is attached to the rod 40, rotatively mounted on the lug elements 41 and 42, of the supporting member 30. The rod 40 has attached thereto, a knob 43, handle, or the like.

The above described construction being such as, will permit the above mentioned horse-hair 19, to be adjusted, as hereinbefore set forth and described.

Having thus described my invention what I claim as new and desire to protect by Letiters Patent of the United States is as folows:

1. A device of the class described comprising a supporting member, a cap member attached thereto, said supporting member and said cap member being adapted to r0- tatively engage a tubular member, said supo porting member being adapted to rotatively support a segment gear and a second segment gear, a horse-hair attached to and extended therefrom, a pinion engaging the said segment gears, said pinion being mounted 105 on a rod rotatively supported by the said supporting member, and a knob attached to the said rod.

2. A device of the class described comprising a supporting member, a cap Inem- 110 ber attached thereto, said supporting and cap members being adapted to rotatively engage a tubular member, said supporting member being adapted to rotatively support a segment gear and a second segment gear, said segment gears being provided with extended elements, a horse-hair adjustably attached to and extended therefrom, a pinion engaging the said segment gears, said pinion being mounted on a rod rotatively sup- 1U ported by the said supporting member, and a knob attached to the said rod.

In testimony whereof I have afiixed my signature.
